The political institutions of Star Wars—such as the Senate, Republic and Empire—and the pseudo-Latin names of characters such as chancellors Valorum and Palpatine echo those of ancient Rome. As Tony Keen notes in Star Wars and History, the architecture on the planet Naboo resembles that of imperial Rome, and the pod race in The Phantom Menace rivals that of the Roman chariot race seen on screen in Ben-Hur. In a meta move by Hasbro, “Star Wars” creator George Lucas will soon be available as a 6-inch stormtrooper action figure as part of a collectible toy line.

They are trained in advanced reconnaissance and with an unusual degree of independence so they can serve as scouts and snipers far from Imperial support. Their armor is lighter than standard stormtrooper suits, with protection only covering the upper body and head, while their helmets incorporate a boosted communication system and enhanced macrobinocular viewplate for spotting targets at long range. On Endor, scout troopers piloted swift 74-Z speeder bikes to patrol the area around the Death Star II's shield generator. [38] [41]
